61 * Register a set of sysctl names by calling register_sysctl_table

EB
62 * with an initialised array of struct ctl_table's. An entry with
63 * NULL procname terminates the table. table->de will be
d99f160a 64 * set up by the registration and need not be initialised in advance.
1da177e4
LT
65 *
66 * sysctl names can be mirrored automatically under /proc/sys. The
67 * procname supplied controls /proc naming.
68 *
69 * The table's mode will be honoured both for sys_sysctl(2) and
70 * proc-fs access.
71 *
72 * Leaf nodes in the sysctl tree will be represented by a single file
73 * under /proc; non-leaf nodes will be represented by directories. A
74 * null procname disables /proc mirroring at this node.
d99f160a 75 *
1da177e4
LT
76 * sysctl(2) can automatically manage read and write requests through
77 * the sysctl table. The data and maxlen fields of the ctl_table
78 * struct enable minimal validation of the values being written to be
79 * performed, and the mode field allows minimal authentication.
80 *
1da177e4
LT
81 * There must be a proc_handler routine for any terminal nodes
82 * mirrored under /proc/sys (non-terminals are handled by a built-in
83 * directory handler). Several default handlers are available to
84 * cover common cases.
